You can bet I'll be one of the first to download it once it becomes available. Should be interesting.

You can find it at Google when they release it.

Pretty ugly right now. Hopefully people beat them into adding a better looking UI to it. And they better not give any BS about slow it down, because they are already running a full application skin vs just using standard windows theming (which hell, I'd prefer).

I hope it fails so I don't have to design around yet ANOTHER browser.

They could have been more creative in the logo design. Looks like a modified windows logo.

Can't wait till I get home so I can get it already! I am psyched. Who cares about the asthetics as long as it works well!

It runs off Webkit. Assuming you already do your job completely and design for Safari, then you're fine.
